JaCVAM statement on
the Reconstructed human Cornea-like Epithelium Eye Irritation Test Method
At a meeting held on 5 July 2016 at the National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) in Tokyo,
Japan, the Japanese Center for the Validation of Alternative Methods (JaCVAM) Regulatory
Acceptance Board unanimously endorsed the following statement:
Proposal: The Reconstructed human Cornea-like Epithelium (RhCE) test method is a suitable
method for assessing ocular irritation potential in a regulatory context as part of abottom-up approach for identifying chemicals not requiring classification andlabelling for eye irritation or serious eye damage (No Category) under the United
Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals(UN GHS).
This statement was prepared following a review of the Organisation for Economic Co-operationand Development (OECD) Test Guideline 492 “Reconstructed human Cornea-like Epithelium
test method for identifying chemicals not requiring classification and labelling for eye irritationor serious eye damage” as well as a validation report on the RhCE test method prepared by theOcular Irritation Testing JaCVAM Editorial Committee to acknowledge that the results of areview and study by the JaCVAM Regulatory Acceptance Board have confirmed the usefulnessof this assay.
Based on the above, we propose the RhCE test method as a useful means for safety assessment
by regulatory agencies.
